Another solid entry to the franchise. Sad that they did away with relics but the city building, supply card system, local tribes, trading posts, and exploration are neat new additions. |

Has some cool new stuff, but dumbed-down military combat more than I would've liked. Single player scenarios tried to be unique in there own way with hit-or-miss results. Still room for improvement. |

Offers even more than AOE2 so what more can you ask for. The only thing holding this game back is the 3D models. Would've still been better of in 2D IMO. |
